Howdy All,

I have a situation where I need to update GTK from: gtk-1.2.10_2 to
gtk+-1.3.12.

However, I can't do a pkg_delete gtk-1.2.10_2 because I have tonnes of programs
that require it. eg.

"pkg_delete: package 'gtk-1.2.10_2' is required by these other packages"

mlib-1.9.11
gnomelibs-1.4.1.1
fnlib-0.5
... etc

So it seems as if I have only one option ie
to build the gtk+-1.3.12 port as well as keep the gtk-1.2.10_2 port.

I really would prefer to delete gtk-1.2.10_2 first and then install the new port
or somehow upgrade gtk-1.2.10_2 to gtk+-1.3.12 instead of installing both.

Is this possible ?

Can anyone recommend a more cleaner solution to my problem ?

 - Alex
